Cosplay is art

About Pharamony

Pharamony is a cosplayer based in Norway and has been actively cosplaying since 2012. Besides cosplaying and competing, she does a lot of lectures, workshops and written tutorials.

Pharamony’s passion for cosplay comes from the creativity of costume making. Most of the fun lies in the process of planning, learning and then finally putting together the finished costume. The reward is finally seeing it in action. She also enjoys entertaining on and off stage.

In 2015, Pharamony collaboated with Bungie/Activision to make Mara Sov (Queen of the Reef). It was debuted with Playstation’s stand at Spillexpo 2015. This was a very exciting project to be part of!
